In the narrow sense, Oral Torah refers to the interpretation and understanding of the Written Torah. The Written Torah is written cryptically, and the Oral Torah demystifies and explains it. But the truth is that Oral Torah includes much more than that. Oral Torah includes all of Torah that is not included in the Written text. In this special edition of The Jewish History Podcast, we discuss the concept of Rabbinic Law, its roots, how the corpus of Oral Torah was expanded, and the various developments in Oral Torah from Moses until the end of prophecy at the beginning of the Second Commonwealth. This podcast was originally recorded for episodes 31 and 32 of TORAH 101, but have been re-edited for The Jewish History Podcast.
